Rants and Raves - Holy Week @ Ascott




Something different, my family decided to spend our holy week in the city. Yes, that is right, when everyone is rushing to leave the Metro, we decided to stay in Makati ( of all places ). Ascott was the destination for a whole week.

Ascott, formerly Oakwood, is located in the heart of Makati CBD.


So anyways, time was spent either going around the Makati proper. Mind you at this time of the year there are no people left in the streets. So it was a sight to see. I also started to play tennis during my stay at the Ascott. It is both hard and fun, try playing tennis at 9 to 11am, with the scorching heat and yeah, no designated ball boy to boot.

Going back to Ascott, we lived in a 4 Bedroom apartment, fully furnished and on the 25th Floor. It was the lap of luxury, literally. The room wasshared with my brother, who accompanied me in playing tennis everyday.

The only downside to all of these things is that the pillows in Ascott are not comfortable at all. All of them are too soft that it doesnt support your neck! Again that proves that nothing is perfect.

The pool is majestic, with 2 jacuzzis waiting on either side. Inviting it was, I practically swam every night for the whole week.

Here are a few pictures I took of the interior of Ascott, it should give you a clear idea what to expect if ever you decide to stay there, Holy Week or Not.
